Are Infants Really Born Sinless?

So than does a baby need to obey Acts 2:38?

Presumably, it's not possible. But that may be why it's so sad when a baby dies, and why it's not good to kill a baby.

All humanity must obey Acts 2:38.

Is a baby righteous or unrighteous? Please answer with scripture.

I don't know.
I asked if a baby has to obey Acts 2:38, by you're answer I'm guessing that you mean yes.
So now I'm asking you, when? As soon as were born?

He could pick a scripture for either answer. Anyone could. Here, let me try.

1. Righteous. "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." Ezekiel 18:20.

2. Unrighteous. "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5. "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." Psalm 58:3. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10.

Which do you prefer?

That doesn't answer any questions. Is an infant righteous or unrighteous being?

Huh? I answered it both ways, with scripture. Oh, but if you want me to pick one, I'll go with righteous. Final answer.

Scripturally, how are we made righteous?

Scripturally, your guess is as good as mine, but a lot of folks' favorite way is Acts 2:38.
